Boletus multipunctus n. sp. 



PLATE K, FIG. 19-22 



Pileus fleshy, convex or nearly plane, dry, brownish ocher^ 

 sometimes with a slight reddish tint, the central part adorned 

 with many minute slightly darker areolate spots or dots, flesh 

 whitish, taste mild; tubes small, adnate or depressed about the- 

 stem, ventricose in the mass, the mouths subrotund, at first 

 whitish, becoming greenish yellow; stem equal or tapering 

 upward, pallid, solid, fibrous striate; spores dark olive green^ 

 oblong, .00045-.0006 of an inch long, .00016-.0002 broad. 



Pileus 3-5 inches broad; stem 3-5 inches long, 4-8 lines thick. 

 In woods. Bolton. August. 



The species belongs to the section Edules. It was not found 



in sufficient quantity for testing its edibility but it is probably 



edible. 



Fistulina pallida B. & R. 



Pittsford, Monroe co. July. F. S. Boughton. These speci- 

 mens correspond to the description of F. pallida except in 

 their larger size. They are distinct from F. fir ma Pk, in. 

 their darker color and decurrent tubes. 



Poria myceliosa n. sp. 



Subiculum membranaceous, separable from the matrix, con- 

 nected with white branching strands of mycelium which per- 

 meate the soft decayed wood, or with radiating ribs which run 

 through the broad sterile fimbriate white margin; pores very 

 short, subrotund angular or subflexuous, the dissepiments thin, 

 aoute, dentate or slightly lacerate, pale yellow; spores minute^ 

 subglobose, .00008-00012 of an inch broad. Round Lake, Sar- 

 atoga CO. August. 



This fungus forms patches several inches in extent on much 

 decayed wood of hemlock. It follows the inequalities of the 

 surface on which it grows. It is scarcely more than half a line 

 thick. The pores develop from the center toward the margin 

 and at first are mere concavities in the subiculum. The species 

 is apparently related to P . tenuis Schw., from which it
